Bug Description

Binary package hint: k3b

I have an ASUS DRW-1608P2S external DVD writer. I use the USB2 connection. The app tells me to insert an empty DVD while on the line above it tells me IT IS an empty DVD inside. There is no type mismatch as it can write both DVD-R and DVD+R.

ProblemType: Bug
Date: Mon Feb 12 00:28:13 2007
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04
Uname: Linux RedBull2 2.6.20-6-generic #2 SMP Wed Jan 31 20:53:39 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Yes, but I have no idea how to locate the problem or
how to do anything debug-like.

Also, sorry for answering you via email but I don't
know how to use the launchpad interface.

Can you access the drive putting in a cd or dvd in it?

Yes, I can read already burnt images. It's the only
optical drive I have at the moment. But the error is
shockingly stupid - k3b is detecting a DVD-R (empty)
and asks for an empty DVD+/-R(W).
